finn’s storyline with DJ and rose is literally him discovering “when you choose neutrality you choose the side of the oppressor.” in tfa, all he wants to do is run. “there’s no beating the first order. we all have to run.” in tlj, he wants to find rey and get out of there. he needs this journey with rose to understand that he can’t in good conscience run from this battle.
you want finn to be a political figure or a strategist or a general, literally any important figure in the resistance? then you need to understand that his character arc in tlj was necessary.
^ Louder for all the Canto Bight arc haters at the back.
